Pink and Brown
You know I love pink, so no surprise I made a card for Color Hues #92! Pink is great with a lot of colors and brown is definitely one of them. I actually had a lot of ideas, but using stencils is a favorite technique right now. It's been quite awhile since I used SSS Layered Flowers stencils, so pulled them out. I have a ton of inks! Altenew Fresh Dye Ink sets make it easy to pick a couple shades of each color that go perfectly together. I find these inks work great for stenciling, brushing on diecuts and stamping, like I did here. This card uses Dusty Pink, Blush Rose, Sand Dunes and Rocky Shore.
The frame is Reverse Confetti, the butterflies are SSS Stitching Butterflies and the sentiment is from Altenew Sweet Bouquet. I brushed the butterfly wings with a shimmer pen, added glaze to the bodies and slightly bent the wings forward.
